Girlfriend Confidential: LA–starring Eva Marcille and her gal pals Denyce Lawton, Kelly Marie Dunn and Nikki Chu–is a docu-series that follows the four ladies in their pursuit to balance their careers and relationships, a task familiar to most Vixens.

Eva and Nikki are booking gigs/setting up appointments and trying to make sense of their relationships, while actress Denyce is in the process of rebuilding her acting career. Busy brand manager Kelly, on the other hand, remains low-key about her love life or lack thereof.

Don’t you wish you really could have your cake and eat it, too? Be at the height of your game with a winning playbook and an awesome guy who won’t back down? Lucky for us, there is a way to maintain a successful career and peace of mind without sacrificing relationships.

Though prominently recognized in entertainment for her previous marriage (1992-1995) to rapper-turned-actor Will Smith, Sheree is more, much more.

All will become evident in VH1’s new reality show Hollywood Exes, which premieres this summer with 10 one-hour episodes.

I’m showing you what I do when I wake up in the morning and try to go out and try to seek work and sometimes I get it and sometimes I don’t. Sometimes it’s an epic failure and my friends help pick me up.”

You’re probably thinking, “If there’s no wild and crazy, non-MF-factor, who-gon’-check-me-boo drama, then what’s the catch?’ Well, keep in mind how Eva got her start. Her come-up might actually make her navigation through Tinseltown quite interesting.

In contrast to magazines like Vogue and others alike that boost size 0 models, Slink magazine gives tips on how to be fashionable and comfortable at any weight, providing tips on how to accentuate curves and pick clothing that best match your body type.

Slink will be published bi-monthly. The first print issue features former America’s Next Top Model winner, Whitney Thompson.
